Isaiah 16:7-9
International Standard Version
Isaiah 16:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Therefore, let Moab not[a] wail,
let everyone wail for Moab.
Lament and grieve deeply
for the ruined remains[b] of Kir-hareseth.
8 For the fields of Heshbon wither,
as well as the vines of Sibmah.[c]
The rulers of the nations
have struck down its choicest vines,
which once reached Jazer
and pushed to the desert.
Its shoots spread out
and passed over the sea.”
Isaiah Weeps for Moab
9 “Therefore I weep with the tears of Jazer
for the vines of Sibmah.
I drench you with my tears,
O Heshbon and Elealeh—
for the shouts of joy over your summer fruit
and your grain harvest have ended.
